Levin. aCambridge, Mass.bNational Bureau of Economic Researchc2010.1 aNBER working paper seriesvno. w15786 aFebruary 2010.3 aThe field of Industrial Organization has made dramatic advances over the last few decades in developing empirical methods for analyzing imperfect competition and the organization of markets. We describe the motivation for these developments and some of the successes. We also discuss the relative emphasis that applied work in the field has placed on economic theory relative to statistical research design, and the possibility that a focus on methodological innovation has crowded out applications. We offer some suggestions about how the field may progress in coming years. aHardcopy version available to institutional subscribers. aSystem requirements: Adobe [Acrobat] Reader required for PDF files. aMode of access: World Wide Web. 7aC8 - Data Collection and Data Estimation Methodology • Computer Programs2Journal of Economic Literature class. 7aL0 - General2Journal of Economic Literature class.1 aLevin, Jonathan D.2 aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 0aWorking Paper Series (National Bureau of Economic Research)vno. w15786.4 uhttp://www.nber.org/papers/w1578641uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w15786
